ON THE MOST VERACIOUS ANECDOTIST, AND
SMALL-TALK MAN, THOMAS HILL, ESQ.[974:1]
Tom Hill, who laughs at Cares and Woes,
As nauci—nili—pili—
What is he like, as I suppose?
Why, to be sure, a Rose—a Rose.
At least, no soul that Tom Hill knows
Could e'er recall a Li-ly.

Nothing speaks our mind so well
As to speak Nothing. Come then, tell
Thy Mind in Tears, whoe'er thou be
That ow'st a name to Misery:
None can fluency deny
To Tears, the Language of the Eye.
